We spent af very nice holyday i Amsterdam in june 2011, and we lived at Hotel Nicolaas Witsen. The hotel is situated very well, outside the center of the city in quiet surroundings, but near enough to walk to city along the canals in small streets. Is is situated near the museumsquater (15 minutes of walking). The room was fine, clean and with good furnitures. The beds were good. The bathroom was rather small, but fine and new and everything was well functioning. Big new windows to the street gave lot of light into the room. The windows were easy to open to let ind fresh air.Black and white curtins to regulate the sun in the room. The breakfast was well with what you normally need. The staff were kind and helpfull. The whole atmosphere at the hotel was relaxed and unformal. We can recommend this hotel for tourists who want to live in the city but also want quiet nights and fesh air, and who want to spent some time at the wonderfull artmuseums in Amsterdam.

Definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam.. the hotel is located very strategically in a quiet residential part of Amsterdam and yet it is very close to all of the must-see and must-do things.. Tram station is only 5 min away from the hotel and you can easly walk to all attractions during the summer. Best part of the hotel is the staff, they are amazing and very helpfull. My trip to Amsterdam was disrupted by closures at London airport but the hotel staff was extremely helpful in accommodating my all last minute changes in my reservation. And when we finally made our way to Amsterdam, they were very quick with all our requests and provided very good insights about Amsterdam. The rooms are small compared to hotel rooms in North America but then this is the norm in Europe so I would not complain. For me, most important thing was the cleanness of the hotel and I was very impressed with the day-to-day cleaning of the hotel. The breakfast was good and enough for a good start to the day.. Plus it is not really easy to find a hotel in Amsterdam to provides breakfast and free wi-fi. In short, you get a great value for your money given the great service, staff and location of Nicolaas Witsen. I would for sure plan another trip to Amsterdam this time in summer and stay at this hotel again, and would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a budget friendly and comfortable stay in Amsterdam.

Stayed here twice now - I'd definitely recommend it. The location is good - easy to get to, and near enough the center, but not so near that you get many groups of loud Amsterdam tourists. A nice quiet peaceful hotel, not-too-expensive, perfectly comfortable. Next time I go to Amsterdam, I'll stay there again.

Was a very pleasant stay. The rooms were small, but very clean. Convenient location, and a decent breakfast. Definitely will recommend

We have been there for three nights (21.09.-24.09.2010).From Amsterdam Central Station to Frederiksplein by tram it's only eight minutes.From the Tramstop Frederiksplein to the hotel just two minutes by feet. This Hotel is nothing for wheelchairs (like hole Amsterdam). The Guy from the reception has been very kindly and friendly. Also in giving tips where to go in Amsterdam, he was very helpful. We decided for a Twin Room Standard. They are not really big, but big enough to sleep in it. It looks very clean. At night it's very clairaudient. Sometimes you hear the tram. Breakfast is from 7:15 to 10:30. It's not really luxorius, but enough to start in the day. Breakfast is inclusive, no standard in Amsterdam. By feet you arrive the main places in less then 15 minutes. All in all: Nice hotel for a short holiday. THANKS TO THE TEAM!

I HAVE STAYED AT THE HOTEL MANY TIMES. ALL STAFF ARE EXCELLENT AND VERY HELPFUL. THE LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR ME. HOTEL IS IN A QUIET RESIDENTIAL AREA. TRAMS TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS ARE 1 BLOCK AWAY. LOCAL CAFE IS ONE BLOCK AWAY. ON CORNER ANOTHER EATERY. GOOD HOTEL.....

Thanks for a very pleastant stay [13-15 July 2010]. Hotel well situated, rooms very clean and comfortable. Good choice at breakfast.We appreciated your retaining our luggage until early evening - a great facility. Will certainly recommend the hotel to our friends.

The service in this comparatively small hotel was really, really good. At breakfast I never had to wait long to be served. The staff is very helpful and try to answer questions in all languages known to them. Considering the usual size of rooms in Amsterdam, the rooms of this hotel can be called rather big. The hotel is located between the city centre and the museum district, which makes it really convenient. On future trips to Amsterdam I will always book in the Nicolaas Witsen Hotel again.

This hotel has everything you need, and is within an easy walk of nice shopping and restaurant areas, as well as being near picturesque canals and the Van Gogh and other Riksmuseum - while being in a lovely quiet street in old Amsterdam. The staff were always very friendly and extremely helpful, the room quiet and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any travelers or business people - forgot to mention very close to a tram stop that takes you straight to central area and main railway station. The breakfast, though described as continental included a boiled egg and lots of bread, ham and cheese and great coffee - brilliant! You can also get a coffee downstairs for a small price at anytime - great for a small hotel. Elisabeth Meehan, Wembley Downs

The hotel is exactly how it looks the service is great room temperature etc. Breakfast is decent. Room cleaned. The night porter is very caring and was concerned about us and what time we got in - It's a safe hotel - bit quiet - shower and toilet were fine - everything is walking distance and tram stops are everywhere easy to get around - don't even have to pay on there. The lighting is efficient in the hotel. Clean towels are provided. i would recommend this place to any one familys/groups of friends. It is a little pricey but if you want a proper shower and room then this is the place.

I want to say thank you, from the University of Arizona CEAC faculty, staff and students. We very much appreciated your hospitality (10-16 Oct 2009). Your hotel is very well located to see the sites of Amsterdam and the breakfasts were a delight.

We stayed there for 6 days and it was a great and good experience. The hotel is very quiet but still very close to all main attractions and entertainment areas in Amsterdam. The tram stop is very close to hotel and is very easy to use. For those who have young children, you can go on the tram with the push chair, without the need of closing and lifting it! The hotel is clean, cosy and the breakfast is good. A great thankyou to the friendly staff, especially to the night receptionist (sorry but we forgot the name!). The staff was helpful, gave us discount vouchers to attractions and also arranged taxis for us to the airport. Thanks again from all of us. Anna Maria, Keith and Katrina from Malta

We have just returned from a short break in Amsterdam where we stayed at the Nicolaas Witsen Hotel. The hotel was very clean and in a great location, not too far out and easy to find. All the hotel staff were very friendly even when you returned late at night and had to ring the bell for someone to let you in. A bit more variety at breakfast would have been nicer but we were only there for three mornings so it was not too much of a problem. However if we had been staying any longer this would have been a bit tiresome. The rooms were very comfortable and a good size but the bed was a bit too soft. If in the future we ever returned to Amsterdam we would definately stay at the Nicolaas Witsen Hotel.

we had been relocated from our original hotel, due to overbooking and despite our disappointment we soon found that the hotel Nicolaas Witsen was a much suitable substitute. we like to think that we made out better. the service was outstanding, the staff were responsive and respectable and the location worked to our advantage once we learned the tram system. our next visit to amsterdam will include the hotel nicolaas witsen.

This hotel is the friendliest hotel I ever stayed! The staff made me feel very welcome and they helped me very good finding my way in Amsterdam. They helped me to plan my full 5 days in Amsterdam and I think I have seen every interesting place. The room was just renovated and I had a big flat screen on the wall. The beds were perfect and so was the breakfast. When I came out of my room the first morning for breakfast I met the cleaning guy and he was so friendly as well. He gave me a hand and told me his name. He asked me if everything was ok, if I had enough towels and if there was something he could do for me. Also the staff in the breakfast room was really good and friendly. I can really recommend this hotel.

Being our first time in amsterdam, i think we picked the perfect hotel, in a great location just close enough to the centre, all the action of the centre was located 10-15 mins walk along one long road (and the heineken experience literaly around the corner) cutting out the need for public transport. the hotel was very well kept, the rooms were in imaculate condition and of a nice size. the staff were very freindly and helpfull, and breakfast was served quickly, to a high standard. A small selection of food and drinks were available at the bar, which were served around the clock which was a handy feature, if returning later on. I have no doubt that I will be staying with this hotel again and I recomend anyone in doing so.
